Chapter 30 Under the Osmanthus Tree

Zhu Mingjiao is located in Qiuse Valley in southern Xinjiang. It was founded in the previous dynasty. It uses the sacred bird Suzaku as its totem. There is a leader, a priest and three pavilion masters in the church.The congregation makes good use of voodoo techniques, knows both medicine and poison, and often helps the people in southern Xinjiang who can't look down on the disease. They have good relations with the surrounding small countries and are very popular in the local area.

But Zhu Mingjiao is not peaceful on the surface.

"Tingyun, when I went to the Central Plains, I discovered that the emperor possessed the forbidden technique of teaching the Chinese to draw silk." While speaking, Ji Minggui grabbed the paper on the table. He usually has no formality, and he is not a person who likes to express anger. , but now anyone can see that his anger is burning.

"Traveling?" Shen Tingyun frowned slightly.After losing his memory, he could no longer remember the past, and he didn't know anything about the internal affairs of Zhu Mingjiao, as if he had never been a member of it.

Ji Minggui noticed his gaffe, loosened the paper in his hand, calmed down after drinking the water on the table, and explained to Shen Tingyun: "It's the forbidden technique we teach, which can change people's temperament drastically. , the victim will die of weakness within ten years." Such a vicious poison, the poisoned person will often die without knowing the truth.

Shen Tingyun also felt a little bad about Ji Minggui's explanation.Gu poison appeared on the emperor's body, it must be that someone in the sect had something to do with the imperial court.Zhu Mingjiao lives and lives, and protects himself in the rivers and lakes, relying on absolutely not colluding with the inside and outside of the court.

To influence the affairs of the court without permission is to put the entire Zhu Mingjiao to death.

Those who can learn the forbidden technique will certainly not be ordinary members of the sect.It is very likely that there is something wrong with the upper echelons of the church.

"That's why I want to invite the legendary Qi Junlang to come up with a plan to eliminate the chaotic parties in the church that colluded with the imperial court." Ji Minggui said.

"Qi Junlang?"

"No one knows the man's name, only know that his surname is Qi. Because of his good looks, he got the nickname of Jun Lang."

Ji Minggui smiled: "It's just thinking of a dead horse as a living horse doctor. I heard that the man has a weird personality, so he won't give any advice... I got the latest whereabouts of the other party, and I plan to use some means to invite him over. Now The church is not safe, and I can’t go there in person to prevent accidents, but I don’t know who to let go.”

Ji Minggui's hint was obvious.

Shen Tingyun had been in southern Xinjiang for four years and had been taken care of. Hearing that Ji Minggui was in trouble, he immediately volunteered to go.

"Let Sangzi follow you." Sangzi followed Shen Tingyun to southern Xinjiang and has been helping with affairs in the church. He is one of Ji Minggui's most trusted confidantes.

Shen Tingyun immediately refused: "Sister Sangzi is also busy all day long, unlike me who has nothing to do all day long, I am good at kung fu, so you don't have to worry about going alone."

Sitting in front of the desk, Ji Minggui put his arms around Shen Tingyun's waist, and Shen Tingyun obediently bowed to kiss him.

Shen Tingyun likes the feeling of kissing very much, which makes him extremely at ease.

"Ma'am, I will thank you for hiring people."

Shen Tingyun shook his head: "It's nothing hard, I'm married to you by Mingmei, so we're a family after all."

Ji Minggui smiled and squeezed the opponent's waist.

The Ming media is marrying, this word is really good.

The little guard didn't want to think about the past, and easily believed that he was his husband. Sang Zi watched him coldly, and never let it go.

He suddenly understood how King Xuan felt back then—it is so good that someone is willing to respect and love you wholeheartedly, and worship you like a heaven.

Qi Shiyu, I will take the person you didn't want back then.

When Shen Tingyun came out from Ji Minggui's place, he was jumping up and down, very happy.It's been a long time since he was sent on an errand, as if a long time ago, maybe in his previous life, he was just a little man who obeyed orders, and after completing his master's orders, he always happily went to ask for credit.

Now he can't wait to go to Zuojiang County to find that Qi Junlang, and bring him to Ji Minggui, so that he can be happier.

When he packed up and went out, he met Pavilion Master Zheng.

Master Zheng Ge is middle-aged, but he doesn't have the airs of an elder. He looks elegant and easy-going, and he is always very gentle when he speaks, and he is easy to get along with.

Pavilion Master Zheng asked him what he was going to do when he left Southern Xinjiang. Shen Tingyun thought that what Ji Minggui planned to investigate was a major matter and he could not reveal it casually, so he just said that he planned to visit relatives in the Central Plains.

"That's right, I've been in Southern Border for too long, it's really time to go out and meet my relatives." Pavilion Master Zheng then told Shen Tingyun to be careful all the way, pay attention to his body, and act like a parent.

Shen Tingyun responded one by one, saying that he would bring the special products of the Central Plains to the other party when he came back, and then hurriedly walked into the mountains.

Crossing Chongling Mountains is Zuojiang County. There is Ji Minggui's private property in Fengqi Town near the mountain. He wants to arrive before the sun sets.

Shen Tingyun went up the mountain with his front foot, and was chased up by Sangzi on his back foot.

"I told the leader, I'll go there with you. You haven't been in the rivers and lakes much, you don't know the dangers of the world, and you will be deceived again." Sangzi was worried about Shen Tingyun. After following Shen Tingyun for these years, she really put him Became a younger brother.Shen Tingyun is too easy to control, when he was held in the hands of King Xuan, he obviously has good martial arts, but he didn't even have the intention of resisting.

"My good sister, you should stay here. Now Minggui doesn't know who under his command has a different heart. You are the only one who dares to use it with confidence. If you run away with me, won't you be me dragging Minggui down again?" Shen Ting Yun didn't want to cause Ji Minggui any more trouble.

Even though he accepted his identity as the wife of the leader, Shen Tingyun still couldn't completely regard Ji Ming as his own in his heart, and he had to accept the other party's favor with peace of mind, and always felt that he owed him a lot.

Sangzi had no choice but to tell him to pay attention to safety just like Pavilion Master Zheng, and not to show off his temper and conflict with others outside.Qi Shiyu had been bestowed to death by the emperor long ago, and the name Shen Tingyun had never been used in court, so she was not very worried that Shen Tingyun would be discovered by someone she knew back then.

Shen Tingyun responded repeatedly, taking advantage of Sangzi's distraction, he ran away without a trace.

Fengqi Town is remote, but because it is an important border town to and from southern Xinjiang, it is not deserted.

He became an idle name owner in the Laigui pharmacy, doing nothing all day long, remembering that Ji Minggui mentioned that Qi Junlang was addicted to alcohol, so he set up a wine shop in the market to wait for you to enter the urn.

But the crowd is vast, and Shen Tingyun himself is not sure whether Qi Junlang, who is rumored to have no plans to spare, will come to reward him.

So Shen Tingyun thought of a bad idea.

He ran to a nearby village with a pharmacist, bought a few jars of wine brewed by the villagers, and planned to unpack it and sprinkle some dried osmanthus flowers in it. He said it was the osmanthus wine passed down from his ancestors. Now the recipe has long been lost, and the only remaining The two altars are intended to be given to those who are destined.

The sweet-scented osmanthus has a strong aroma, which can cover most of the aroma of wine, so that people will not be found to be fooling themselves when they smell it at first glance.

If Qi Junlang is really addicted to alcohol, as long as he spreads the news, the other party will definitely not miss the opportunity to taste good wine.

On the way back, I passed the town entrance of Fengqi Town. In the golden autumn and September, the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers were in full bloom. Shen Tingyun thought of picking some fresh flowers and soaking them in wine with dried flowers.

The sweet-scented osmanthus forest outside the town is not big, but the ground is full of falling flowers, and the fragrant osmanthus scents the nostrils.Shen Tingyun asked the pharmacist to send the wine jar back first, and walked into Guilin by himself.

Under the thickest osmanthus tree, lay a beggar with a jug of wine in his arms. He seemed to have slept for a long time, and his shabby clothes were covered with fallen flowers.

Shen Tingyun ignored the man and picked some flowers by himself. After a while, he found that the other party seemed to be motionless, and worried that something happened, so he walked a little closer.

It was a very beautiful beggar, maybe it's not right to say beautiful, but Shen Tingyun didn't read any books, so he couldn't say a better word.

The man's eyes were closed, and it could be seen that the eyebrows were deeply outlined, the bridge of the nose was straight, and the two thin lips showed a bit of affection.The stubble on his chin was not trimmed in time, which instead brought out his knight-like handsomeness.His hair was loose, and he looked like he hadn't washed it for a long time. His clothes were worn out, and his neckline was open, revealing a large part of his chest.

It looks familiar.

Shen Tingyun stood in front of the beggar with his chin in his hand, unable to remember where he had seen him before.

In the past, when Shen Tingyun was always worried about not being able to remember the past, Ji Minggui always comforted him, saying that the things that cannot be remembered should be regarded as happening in the previous life.After crossing the Naihe Bridge in this life, Meng Po soup has drawn a clear line with the previous life.

Perhaps Shen Tingyun stared at the other party for a long time, which aroused the other party's vigilance, and the handsome beggar under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree quickly opened his eyes.

"Mengmeng?" The man lost his voice looking at Shen Tingyun.
